Anyone got a set of big brownriggs? If so how do you get it to clear your right hand pot joint? I finally got around to looking at my set up and noticed that the center pipe *that goes down the right hand side* nearly has a hole worn in it where it has been rubbing the right hand pot * inner cv* joint. Given the cost of these extractors I want to know how people have dealt with it?
The engine has 3 engine steadys so I dont think its been rocking on to it? I could try to fit the fourth but it will need a miracle to fit :)
Cheers miki

PS* I mean the Brownrigg LCB btw.. fairly large diameter by the look of them.

Try using two manifold gaskets. I did that with Maniflow LCB2 with rubber unis and it cleared them.

ive got the Brownriggs too and they do come close but do fit...i havent had to add extra gaskets etc but maybe there a different kind of extractor...were did you get them.???
there are some copys out there ..

i had troubles getting them to fit at first but with a bit of swearing and wiggeling they went on fine.

Was made by the same guy but was previously on a clubman that was used as a race car. Will try the 2x gasket deal if my gentle massage on LCB hasnt worked *yes yes i know sacralidge, but practicality won the day*
